Longitudinal associations between teacher-child interactions and academic skills in elementary school
2017
This study examined the extent to which the quality of teacher-child interactions assessed in kindergarten (6-year-olds) is associated with children's reading and math development across the elementary school years. The sample consisted of 515 Finnish children (271 boys, 244 girls). Teacher-child interactions were observed in 49 kindergarten classrooms. The findings from the latent growth curve models showed that high-quality teacher–child interactions in kindergarten were positively associated with the initial levels of reading and math skills. Furthermore, the results indicated that high-quality teacher-child interactions in kindergarten were positively associated with children's academic…

The global ranking game : narrowing academic excellence through numerical objectification
2018
The objective of this article is to study some of the intended and unintended effects on academe of the evolving global ranking game. I will start with some broader points on the global ranking game, the formal terms and economic interests it promotes, then continue with a presentation of the Shanghai ranking and its main rival the Times Higher Education. Through reversed engineering, I will bring out the main problems of the Shanghai ranking. I will finish with some of the key features of the demand side, the uses and effects of the tool: the psychosocial mechanisms that reproduce ranking and the lock-ins it creates. peerReviewed
Kuormituskoe modernin kuvantamisen aikakaudella
2019
Kuormituskoetta käytetään sepelvaltimotaudin ja muidenkin sydänsairauksien diagnosoinnissa, ennusteen arvioinnissa, hoidon suunnittelussa ja seurannassa. Kuormituskokeen keskeisin etu on sen helppo saatavuus sekä avoterveydenhuollossa että erikoissairaanhoidossa. Rasitukseen liittyvien oireiden tai suorituskyvyn heikkenemisen yhteydessä kuormituskoe on edelleen arvokas perustutkimus. Sen käytön keskeisin rajoite liittyy sen diagnostiseen osuvuuteen, ja sepelvaltimotaudin ali- ja ylidiagnostiikan välttämiseksi kuormituskokeen käyttö tulisikin rajata liikuntakykyisiin potilaisiin, joilla taudin todennäköisyys ennen testiä on keskisuuri tai suuri. Kuormituskoe sopii potilaille, joiden lepo-EKG…
Hyperspectral Imaging of Macroinvertebrates : a Pilot Study for Detecting Metal Contamination in Aquatic Ecosystems
2018
The applicability of spectral analysis in detection of freshwater metal contamination was assessed by developing and testing a novel hyperspectral imaging (HSI) application for aquatic insect larvae (Trichoptera: Hydropsychidae). Larvae were first exposed to four different cadmium (Cd) concentrations: 0, 1, 10, and 100 μg L−1 for 96 h. Individual larvae were then preserved in ethanol, inspected with microscopy for the number of anomalies in larval gills, and imaged by hyperspectral camera operating with wavebands between 500 and 850 nm. Three additional larvae from each exposure were analyzed for tissue Cd concentration. Although the larval tissue Cd concentrations correlated positively wit…
Paper-bound online readers: Revisiting reading strategies of foreign language learners
2016
Making sense of any text written in a foreign language is a dynamic and demanding activity that engages decoding and comprehending processes. Meaning construction entails comprehension monitoring as quite often foreign language users may be confused by the information they have decoded, and then they have to identify the possible sources of confusion. Reading strategies – plans for solving problems with the construction of meaning (Duffy 1993) – play an important role in monitoring text comprehension, both printed on and electronic. Since the electronic media have entered educational, professional and private spaces where they coexist with printed matter, it is crucial to understand how and…

HCV elimination; Mental health disorders; Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir Eliminación del VHC; Trastornos de salud mental; Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir Eliminació del VHC; Trastorns de salut mental; Sofosbuvir/velpatasvir Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is prevalent in people with mental health disorders, a priority population to diagnose and cure in order to achieve HCV elimination. This integrated analysis pooled data from 20 cohorts in seven countries to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of the pangenotypic direct-acting antiviral (DAA) sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) in people with mental health disorders. HCV-infected patients diagnosed with mental health disorders who were treated with SOF/VEL for 12 w…

Young adult dystopian novels of the twenty-first century: Cultural dimensions and reception of S. Westerfeld's Uglies, S. Collins' The Hunger Games, …
2020
En las últimas décadas hemos sido testigos de la enorme popularidad de la ficción para jóvenes adultos, que ha conseguido atraer a sus lectores a través de la magia, los vampiros, o las heroínas con arco y flechas que luchan contra el sistema. Con un público objetivo adolescente, la nueva ola de ciencia ficción distópica ha obtenido un éxito sin precedentes con la publicación de The Hunger Games de Suzanne Collins (2008, 2009, 2010). El éxito de esta trilogía y su adaptación cinematográfica favorecieron que surgieran otras novelas del mismo género, como la trilogía Divergent, de Veronica Roth (2011, 2012, 2013), que recibieron una similar bienvenida por parte de la audiencia. La ficción dis…
Sobre la identidad y procedencia del poeta Filóxeno y la autoría del ditirambo ???????
2019
El presente estudio pretende resolver la controversia en torno a la identidad y procedencia del poeta Filóxeno, célebre ditirambógrafo del siglo V-IV a.C. Para ello, hemos recopilado todos los testimonios que citan a personajes con el nombre de Filóxeno desde la primera mención de Aristófanes. La investigación ha revelado que existen varios individuos con el mismo nombre y rasgos comunes. No obstante, el examen de estos testimonios revela la existencia de un único autor de ditirambos: Filóxeno de Citera. Además, creemos que este poeta fue el autor del ditirambo ???????, que algunos editores atribuyeron falsamente a Filóxeno de Léucade. Posteriormente, reflexionamos sobre la identidad de Fil…
